Start Date: 2023
End Date: 2024

Description

Regional technical cooperation project aimed at optimizing nitrogen fertilizer use and reducing nitrous oxide emissions in agricultural systems in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Panama, and the Dominican Republic. The project seeks to generate specific emission factors, evaluate nitrogen sources, rates, and application timing, develop mitigation strategies, maintain yields, strengthen national greenhouse gas inventories, and generate best-practice recommendations for efficient nitrogen use.
